"Supreme Court Greenlights $2.5 Billion Boy Scouts Sex Abuse Settlement"

The Supreme Court has allowed the $2.5 billion bankruptcy settlement by the Boy Scouts to proceed, rejecting a move by 144 plaintiffs to block the settlement. The settlement will continue to be litigated among the parties, with the plan aiming to compensate sexual abuse claimants while allowing the organization to continue operating. The settlement, approved in 2022, would pay between $3,500 and $2.7 million to abuse victims, with over 86% of the 82,000 victims voting in favor of the plan.
